I found this page while browsing "Piece articles" under "Explore". Why is there and not in "Piececlopedia" is strange.

Shouldn't this page be moved?

It's interesting that the Nightrider is relatively popular, while the Knight equivalent to a Pao (Cannon) and Vao (diagonal equivalent) is in obscurity.

They are alike in terms of complexity. The latter is more challenging to defend against, even though it's weaker.

(Also, the diagram of its movement is currently hosted on an external site, with a warning on the page.)

This piece has also been called a Cao, probably the C coming from cavalry

Still weird that this piece has never been used

I've corrected the diagram

I'm going to research the value soon

Done.

I'll make this page larger tomorrow. Could someone change the index description to 'Moves like nightrider, but must jump when taking'?
